...Energy a Breeze? I thought I had come to a typo in your article "Got Wind?" when I read about the Michigander who spent $16,000 to get a wind turbine that "can generate 1.5 kilowatts ... enough to power the average lightbulb for 15 hours" [Dec. 1]. And that, he admits, is on a day with "decent wind." A few nuclear plants can power more lightbulbs than that, and you don't have to sit around waiting for a breeze. Americans need to look at how France is getting nearly 80% of its electricity. Stephanie Gutmann, Piermont, New York...
...election officials to match information provided on voter registration applications - such as name, address, date of birth, Social Security number, and driver's license number - against data in official records before an individual can be registered to vote. The problem is that even a simple error such as a typo can keep a legitimate voter off the registration rolls.

As part of Israel’s disengagement plan to withdraw Israeli troops and civilians from the Gaza Strip and part of the northern West Bank, 9,000 Israeli settlers are slated to be moved back inside Israel-proper this summer. This plan furthers the national goals...
...driven to a near homicidal rage by her boyfriend's incessant knuckle cracking--but it has never dawned on her to ask him to stop. So the question is this: What's with the exclamation point in the title? "I asked the same question. I thought it was a typo," says Azaria. "Basically, it's just kind of something that makes you look twice and makes you wonder. It should just be normal, but it's not. That's very much our show...
